Hello, Jorge!

<Sigh...> We have temperatures barely above 0 ?C here, with storm and snow (predicted a "White Easter" with snowdrifts), and the only Diptera I saw today were some very small Chironomids at our house wall and some Sylvicolas at my banana baits... The only other insects I only found in the house: Anthrenus verbasci (Dermestid beetles) and Tinea pellionella (bagworm moth larvae) - both like our cats' hairs... ;)


I saw the Anthrenus yesterday too. :P Tineidae larvae are among ones that can eat human hair too.. :( on the final stage of a human decomposition...


Here the Easter will be very rainy. :(
